Accession Number: 00386685
Record Type: Component
Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Microcomputers have proven to be an effective tool for the solution of traffic engineering problems. Even in the early stages of its development, the microcomputer was recognized for its utility in a wide range of traffic engineering tasks. The current use of microcomputers by traffic engineering agencies is reviewed. An overview is presented of the general categories in which microcomputers are applied. Specific examples of available programs are mentioned in each category. The applications include general desk-top computing for signal system design and analysis, data base management of accident records and inventories, and special graphics. Communication with other data processing devices is also discussed, including traffic data collection, intelligent terminals, and real-time signal system control.
